Cancer loves sugar!

Because a friend just told me she needed a double mastectomy I have delved into finding out what I can about cancer and nutrition. What did I find?

1) Normal cells need oxygen. Cancer cells despise oxygen.
2) Cancer metabolizes through a process of fermentation.
3) The metabolism of cancer is approximately 8 times greater than the metabolism of normal cells.

So? the body is constantly overworked trying to feed the cancer. The cancer is constantly on the verge of starvation and thus constantly asking the body to feed it. When the food supply is cut off, the cancer begins to starve unless it can make the body produce sugar to feed itself. Sugar feeds the cancer. The body finally dies of starvation, trying to feed the cancer.

Knowing this, does it make sense to feed the cancer sugar? Does it make sense to have a high carbohydrate diet?

If we continue to ignore our nutrition we are setting ourselves up for many health issues including cancer, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, strokes and worse. It is so much easier to prevent the problems than it is to try and correct them later.
